content
On the one hand, Comma is dedicated to young German-language literature; on the other hand, the association has been committed to writers from the Czech Republic and Slovakia since 2004.
One of the magazine's concerns is to relate different artistic production methods to one another. For example, the issue of Fabula Rasa appeared , in which young authors reinterpreted the old genre of fables. The texts were read in by actors from the Schauspielhaus Chemnitz and added to the magazine as an audio book CD with sound miniatures from the Chemnitz rock formation Radar .
On the occasion of the 75th birthday of Carlfriedrich Claus in 2005, in cooperation with the Chemnitz Art Collections and with the support of Kunst für Chemnitz e. V. a special edition in honor of the language artist with works by contemporary authors.
At the Frankfurt Book Fair 2006 , an anthology of young Slovak literature was presented in cooperation with the Bratislava Literature and Information Center (SLOLIA).
In 2007, the poetry film edition Fish in the Sand was released on DVD : Young directors filmed the poems of young Saxon poets in collaboration with the Chemnitz film workshop . The 16th edition was published in November 2007 with the title: Voices of Central Europe . It contains texts by Czech and Slovak authors on the subject of “cultural identity”. The publication was published as part of the German-Czech Literature Days in Chemnitz.
